ForkTTY 0.2.0-alpha.16

ForkTTY 0.2.0-alpha.16 is an alpha release focused on socket/team/workspace reliability, AppImage hook/MCP setup, clean GTK shutdown, and disabled PTY-persistence cleanup.

Highlights

Fixed

• Fixed GTK window close so the embedded Unix-socket server receives a shutdown signal instead of keeping the ForkTTY GUI/AppImage process alive after the last window is closed.
• Fixed hook and MCP setup from AppImage launches so generated ForkTTY CLI commands set APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1, preventing short hook calls and persistent MCP servers from leaving FUSE AppImage runtime mounts behind.
• Fixed AppImage terminal launches with opt-in PTY process persistence so detached dtach brokers do not inherit AppImage runtime file descriptors and keep the FUSE mount alive after the GTK window closes.
• Fixed opt-in PTY process persistence cleanup so disabling the setting, starting with it disabled, explicitly closing/restarting a pane, or closing the GTK window after disabling persistence terminates stale ForkTTY-managed dtach brokers and their child process trees instead of leaving detached terminals behind.
• Fixed generated OpenCode hook plugins so they contain valid JavaScript constants instead of Rust visibility prefixes.
• Fixed official CLI/MCP socket clients timing out before slower server-side operations complete or rejecting valid bounded responses larger than 1 MiB.
• Fixed team.message.dispatch so concurrent or post-send/failed-ack retries of the same queued message do not write the prompt to a terminal twice.
• Fixed duplicate team.worker.launch calls for the same live launch-owned worker so the second call fails before leaving an orphaned worker pane.
• Fixed workspace.close and worktree.remove rollback and surface-set races so failed or concurrent close operations cannot leave orphan terminal runtimes behind.
• Fixed team and workflow store updates to coordinate through per-store lock files, preventing lost updates when multiple ForkTTY processes share a state directory, and moved socket store I/O onto Tokio's blocking pool so slow filesystems do not stall unrelated socket requests.
• Fixed events.subscribe validation for non-boolean replay values and capped event subscribers separately from the general socket request budget.
• Fixed MCP tool metadata and SPEC.md drift for workflow loop state and non-idempotent team heartbeat/ack operations.
• Fixed Antigravity hook setup so the generated PreInvocation entry uses Antigravity's flat lifecycle-hook handler shape instead of the nested tool-hook matcher shape, allowing ForkTTY's before-model wrapper to load.

Security

• Restricted opt-in PTY process persistence to explicitly plain interactive terminal shell spawns so project actions and team-worker provider commands cannot be wrapped in dtach and outlive their visible pane unexpectedly.
